Powforge gate middleware adds identity scoring for tool access

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new release of the @powforge/mcp-l402-gate middleware, version 0.3.0, introduces `minScores` to gate tool access based on multiple identity metrics. This aims to address the issue where new or low-reputation agents are treated the same as established ones, even after payment. The system now checks factors like social weight and economic history alongside payment, providing detailed feedback on why access was denied. AI

IMPACT Enhances security and reputation-based access control for tools, potentially improving the reliability of AI agent interactions.
